Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs across Hampshire, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Signs you need aluminium roof lantern repairs
- Leaks at bars or ridge
- Cappings lifted or rattling

What should you expect to pay for aluminium roof lantern repairs in Hampshire?
Guide price for aluminium roof lantern repairs: £195–£695 ex VAT (£234–£834 inc VAT), per lantern. Towers or scaffold, where needed, are priced into the quote. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing before any work starts.
Do you need permission in England?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the local council for alterations, and conservation areas can have extra controls; like-for-like repairs are treated differently from changes, so check with the council's conservation officer first.
